need help with creating shopping basket

Posted 01 August 2014 - 04:33 PM

I am trying to create a shopping basket and so far I have got my list of items that are for sale on one page and on my second page i have the shopping basket. when i click the button to add to bssket on the selling page, the item displays where it should do within the shopping basket page. the problem is when i add a second item to the basket it does not display as having 2 items added, rather it gets rid of the first item and displays only the second. i need to get multiple items to add to the basket. i have barely no knowledge on javascript so am clueless on how to fix this can anybody give me advice or tell me what code i need to fix this please?

You will need to use some server side scripting with this. It is not a simple job as you will need session tracking, user authentication. You will need DB tables for users products, orders, etc. Payment will need a secure connection, you will have to use SQL transactions to make sure you do not stuff up orders. This is not a job for someone that has very little programming experience.

I would strongly suggest you use an existing system and modify it to suit your needs. I believe WordPress has many solutions, but its been a very long time since I have done that type of site so maybe someone that has used an off the shelf shopping system can make some suggestions for you.
